Brand new Co-wash routine

★Helurr Ladies ★

I know you all are thinking, "y does she keep changing her hair routines". Well I am in a transition period of my hair. Sometimes it takes a while to find what really works and what doesn't work on your hair. My hair is super sensitive to breakage. Not only that but I wear my wigs all the time during the week. So about 8-9 hours a day can do some serious breakage to my ends as well as edges-nape and baby hairs. I am learning to treat my hair with the respect that I treat my body. I shower, moisturize, and lotion my skin daily. Why not treat my hair the same. My hair doesn't react to products the way it does my skin. If I can't use a lotion or soap, I get a rash and change. But with my hair, its all about knowing how you want your hair to feel before and after washing.
Not that my Co-washing routine from before was bad or damaged my hair. It just wasn't as moisturizing as I need it to be. Hopefully this new routine will work for my transition hair. Yes, it takes time and $ to keep changing from product to product, but being able to have healthy hair in the end will make it worth it.

New Hair Routine:
First, I used my Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil on my dry hair. I then applied Culture wet or dry detangler and brushed my hair, starting from the bottom working my way up. I separated my hair into 6 sections-3 on each side of my head. I applied Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and Natural Conditioner from root to tip. Then began braiding in medium sized braids. After I conditioned and braided all sections I rinsed the conditioner out, leaving the braids in. If they unravel just re-braid. With braids still in, I applied Lustersilk cholesterol deep conditioner. I then placed a shower cap on. I cut the legs off of stockings and placed the left over part over the shower cap. Later placing a wool hat on. I left this on for about 30-45 mins. This lets the deep conditioner really condition my hair. I then applied a very tiny amount-about the size of a quarter-of my Nexxus Humectress Moisturizing Conditioner as my leave-in. Until I purchase one that I like, I'll do this instead. ** You can actually use any conditioner u have as a leave-in but apply very lil. Because too much will be a disastrous result, speaking from experience here...lol**

Hair Diary-Hair wash reggie #2

New Hair Reggie #2
Hey all, I have decided to switch my hair reggie again because the first one wasn't very moisturizing. So now I am trying a new wash routine.

(1) I used Lustersilk Herbal hair gloss
(2) Then I wet my hair and added Pantene Pro-V conditioner for relaxed and natural hair
(3) Rinsed out most of the conditioner
(4) Shampooed using my Nexxus Shampoo
(5) Washed out the shampoo completely
(6) Applied Nexxus Conditioner, washed out
(7) Applied my Lustersilk cholesterol deep conditioner, braided my hair left in for about 2 hours. Washed out with my hair still braided
(8) Unbraided my hair and put Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding on half and 2 strand twisted and then applied Carol's Daughter Hair Milk and let air Dry

The reason I did half and half was to see which one worked best as it air dried...I'll keep ya'll posted. Also I used a 100% cotton tee. So we shall see if that helped.
